federally assisted action indicates that 

the project will not cause significant 

local, regional, or national impacts on 

the human environment. As a result of 

these findings, J. Xavier Montoya, State

construct flood control dikes, a flood 

wall, and strengthen some existing rock 

rip-rap along the north side, and dikes 

and grade work on the south side of the 

Middle Fork Powder River through the 

town of Kaycee, Wyoming.
